All my fall calves are on the ground except one. A cow due 10/26/16 with a Broadway calf.
Last night about midnight, I checked Cricket. She was 283 days post ET. She was nervous and her tail was flicking.
Checked her at 3 am and there was a calf nursing at her side. This morning, I weighed the calf, clipped the umbilical cord, sprayed it with iodine, and saw it was a heifer. All black.
